Shifting to Sensationalism & The Changing Role of Local Media with Darryl Baser

In this episode of the Beyond Broadcast podcast, I speak with a former Journalist & Musician, Darryl Baser. Always on the hunt for different backgrounds and perspectives it was great to be able to sit down with Darryl who has been a journey-man in the sense of shifting industries and locations. We cover a wide array of topics including speaking about the Dunedin music scene and the therapeutic role it has played in his life, the evolution of local journalism and the challenges of working as a journalist in this era of sensationalist news. Additionally, why media models from other countries don’t work in New Zealand, the necessity of local/community news and why there needs to be more community engagement within media. — If you would like to get in contact you can reach me on the following: Insta - @beyondbroadcastpod Email - [email protected]
